Bilaxy Rekt: $ 450 million lost after a market hack

E xchange hacks are one of the well-known teething troubles in the crypto space.  The latest victim was Bilaxy, where the damage could amount to 450 million US dollars.

Is Cardano Ready For $ 3 Now?

  Already last week it looked like Cardano was preparing for a price increase to USD 3.  However, this didn't really work.  But now it looks like Cardano is preparing for it again.  In the last ADA News we also reported that Cardano was only able to achieve a return of over 100% within a month. Cardano on the rise Cardano has been  on the up  again for a few weeks  and has broken its all-time high.  Despite the excellent return of over 100% in just four weeks, Cardano failed to hit the $ 3 mark.  So we couldn't report any new ADA news about this long-awaited course.

The best crypto debit cards

  The crypto debit cards have pushed the introduction of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment like no other innovation.  Bitcoin & Co. owners no longer need a bank account and no longer need to keep their assets in fiat money.  Instead, crypto cards act as an effective interface between the crypto world and common means of payment.  The owner keeps their money in cryptocurrencies until they need to make a purchase or payment.  Then the crypto card automatically converts the coins into fiat, often with very lucrative bonuses and cashback!  Below is a list of the best cryptocurrency debit/credit cards. Bitpay Bitpay is one of the most popular crypto debit cards.  It supports various cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, XRP, GUSD, USDC, PAX, and BCH.  The card is issued by MasterCard and is one of the best options for US citizens.  Users can top up their cards via the Bitpay wallet.  Eight fiat currencies are supported.  The foreign currency fees are 3% of the transaction costs.  If t

Coinbase  The US crypto exchange is one of the most important trading centers for digital currencies worldwide.  The company has been listed on the American NASDAQ since mid-April.  In the meantime, the company had a market value of over $ 100 billion.  In comparison, the company's Bitcoin inventory is rather small.  Coinbase owns "only" around 4,500 Bitcoin.  This is currently equivalent to about $ 220 million. 4.
